A New Improved Complete Magazine Draft
Here is the new draft of my full magazine. In this draft I have made lots of changes to the contents page, and some additional minor changes to the front cover and double page spread.
On the front cover I:
- Changed the Pug, I made it into a star shape to continue my theme of stars, and also to make it stand out further.
- I also changed the position of my secondary image, I moved it slightly further to the left so that it stands out more
- Added more of the small stars to continue the theme
- Changed the wording from largest to newest
- Added more stroke on the white lines
- Added additional artists at the bottom
- Twisted my image to the right
- Re-edited my main image, to adjust the cut out of the hair
From my first full draft of my magazine, I have changed my contents page a lot from the feedback that I was given. I have:
- Changed the colour scheme, I have brought out more Latino colours continuing the red, orange and yellows.
- I have changed some of the fonts to make it make it tie in further with the front cover
- Added captions to my images to give context
- Changes the lettering to make it stand out more
- Added borders to the images
- Added stroke to some of the text
- Changed some of the positioning and placing
- Changed the imagery of Paige to a more suitable image
- Moved the star imagery so they are more directly noticeable
Double Page Spread changes:
- I changed the drop capital from the stand-first to the actual beginning of the article
- I changed the page numbers to the correct number to continue reading
- I raised the page numbers slightly so that they were not cut off
- I removed the additional photo, as I don’t think that it went that well and didn’t suit it
- Changed the wrapping of the text of the quote
Overall I am really happy with my final draft of my magazine, I think that it reflects the Latino genre well, and is engaging for the reader. I also think that the bright colours, whilst reflecting he genre, also catch peoples attention and draws them towards it. I think that theme is continued and consistent and it all works well together.
